Blountberg Year 2050 in pictures.
Today for your pleasure, a series of street level pictures.
Here we see the Aerowinds Commerce Park on the southeast side, now a major CS center, as well as a heavily trafficked area.
Here at the main downtown intersection at night, we see a small statue of yours truly, now dwarfed by a colossal statue of yours truly.
This bridge betweeen Downtown and River South, when built 50 years ago, was the tallest man-made point in the city, but now it is dwarfed by the condo high-rises surrounding it.
The avenue running southward from River South towards the Blount Manufacturing area is full of fancy & filthy rich commercial buildings.

Fray Bentos '50

Commercial services demand went through the roof like other parts of the region, surprisingly residential demand for all cost housing went south, while industrial demand remained consistantly average.
Due to the commercial demand a whole section of industry was 'dozed to make way for shopping malls and carparks.
With all this new commerce new opportunities opened, including the building of a port, which led to the construction of the Lighthouse overlooking the parting of The Fray.
A Resort Hotel was also built by Gullmouth beach.

Build a waste-to-energy plant and fund it at "0", you wont get any power from it, but itll burn all your garbage.
Disconnect roads from the landfill too, i dunno if this is necessary once you have a waste-to-energy but it wont hurt.
It took me about 10 or 15 years once i disconnected the roads and starting using the w-t-e to empty 2 small landfills.

IIRC, no matter what, trash will go to all available incinerators before they ship it off to the landfill.
So, just make sure you have more waste to energy plants than you produce garbage, and you should be fine.
IMO waste management in this game is far too simple.

Not much news. The city has apparently hit its peak. 2046-2050 were notable for commute problems, with many buildings abandoning because their landlords' commutes were too long.
Because we couldn't well afford to plow through downtown with an elevated highway, or dig up a billion dollar hole of a subway, we had to use innovative practices to fix our situation.
For example, in a few locations, we tore down old, dilapidated, abandoned houses and apartments, and rezoned for Industrial: since it was still in a good part of town, it became high tech industrial, and a few citizens found jobs much closer than what they had been after. Maybe this mixed zoning will be employed at a greater amount in the future.

The Military Industrial Complex finally became complete. After decades of long drives out to Mergdale, army brass no longer have to get on the road to watch their toys blow up--a Missile Range was built directly north of Area 51.

Over the years 2050 to 2055, El Dorado has fixed, to tremendous benefit, problems that plagued the fair city.
The first improvement is a work in progress. As old fashioned, dirty industrial concerns are slowly shuttered in the East, they are filled in with commercial zoning. After the appropriate land restoration, which is speedily done because of the heavy demand for commercial developments, new properties open in a geographically beautiful part of town that will only appreciate in value.

Police and medical services in El Dorado have been totally revamped. Every facility in the city is brand new.
Hospitals were relocated to the densely populated parts of the city out of Cherry Vanilla Park, which has drastically increased ambulance efficiency. Also, the freed up land in Cherry Vanilla Park is now enjoyed as true parkland by our nature-appreciating citizenry.
New police precincts were drawn and stations were built. The city now hosts three large stations and a small one near the Dead Zone. Crime has dropped by more than half.
Trees have been planted everywhere where development has not already occured.

Finally, in a sign of how much El Dorado has grown, new reports say that the Mrmitchell Bridge, an icon of the city that rises out of the riverbanks to connect El Dorado and Mergdale, can no longer handle its increasing capacity.
It is not yet determined whether the Bridge will be replaced or an extra crossing will be added. Already, most other road bridges in Taipei have necessitated adding avenue-wide crossings nearby to handle excess traffic...
